[Lazarus] OpenGL
Hi Lazarati I have two questions: 1. Have there ever been a Free Pascal implementation of OpenGL? I would like to learn OpenGL and was wondering if I will be forced to use C++/C or if there are other options. 2. I know there are (or have been) various OpenGL Lazarus components (e.g. GLScene, NX etc) and game engines? (JEDI SDL != OpenGL?). Which would you advice me to install/use for learning OpenGL and why? I am not asking for a flame-war, so please state when it is just your opinion or else give a reason. 3. Ultimately I would like to be able to write and use a game engine based on OpenGL (in Pascal if possible) including sound etc. Thanks Chavoux -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
[Lazarus] OpenGL conversion
Hi Are there any conversion guides or examples of how OpenGL Delphi program can be converted to Lazarus. I would try to automate it with Delphi converter but I don't know much about graphics programming myself. I am testing the converter with DeleD 3-D program which would be an extremely cool porting project.

Based on your 2nd question, you should've known that OpenGL is perfectly accessible from Pascal. nxPascal does use OpenGL as backend, Kambi VRML also utilizes OpenGL for portability, and others as well (some also supports DirectX though). If you just want to learn OpenGL, I don't think we have Pascal specific complete tutorial as OpenGL is just an API and is language independent, though designed with C interface. So OpenGL own tutorial and reference (which is written with C in mind) should be applicable, provided you understand C and know how to convert C constructs to Pascal. I don't suggest using game engine, as it will be too complicated for learning purpose. Pure OpenGL with GLFW frontend (I also don't suggest GLUT) is good for learning. At least using pure OpenGL can get you understand the rendering pipeline, matrices (projection, rotation, etc), coloring, shading, picking (for input and feedback), etc. -- View this message in context: http://free-pascal-lazarus.989080.n3.nabble.com/Lazarus-OpenGL-tp4037158p4037165.html Sent from the Free Pascal - Lazarus mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

I succesfully ported my Ballanced Game from Delphi OpenGL to Lazarus OpenGL ( Linux, Win compatible ) but i had to do many things by hand. Maybe my [url=http://corpsman.de/index.php?doc=opengl/clear_engine]Clear Engine[/url] sample could give you a little hint to succesfully port your Application.

So if automatic conversion shall be achieved the converter must know about the platform dependent differences and have functions in place to replace the windows stuff. That is not easy to achieve especially without OpenGL knowledge. Perhaps you want to take a look at $LazarusDir/components/opengl/examples. You will see that the context handling is taken care of by TOpenGLControl so you don't need most of the windows functions you named. I fear at the moment the only way to port the program is by hand.

The only thing you gain by using SDL is cross-plattform context creation (which Lazarus provides, too, via TOpenGLControl). But you still have to learn pure, low level OpenGL to use it. > It is under active > development, and was/is used in many game development, so we know it has > good performance too. When used for game development a 2D/3D-Engine is running on top of SDL (for example the Linux version of Quake4 uses SDL but the real work is done by the "id Tech 4" engine). All 'we' know is that these different engines seem to have good performance. You gain nothing by using SDL for OpenGL (especially not speed as SDL just provides direct OpenGL access, same as without SDL). It is used in Game Development because it is cross-plattfrom and can initialize your GL context, take care of the sound and input devices. But the real graphics work is done by some engine on top of it. So, yes, it is a good lib and used in commercial games but it is not what the OP is looking for. Both GLScene and the castle game engine are better options. @OP If the development is less game and more visualization you may also take a look at http://asmoday.sourceforge.net.

Re: [Lazarus] opengl and compiz
Dear Mattias, I think that is related to how lazarus manage opengl. I tried another example with TOpenGLControl and I get the same behaviour. I put a TOpenGLControl on a form then I just copied a piece of code (from the example on TOpenGLControl in Components/Examples) in order to draw a cube after a click on the TOpenGLControl. When I click on the OpenGLControl1 the cube is correctly painted both with and without compiz. With compiz disabled if I minimize the form and then restore it the OpenGLControl1 is not visible but if I click on it the OpenGLControl1 appears again and the cube too. With Compiz enabled if I minimize the form and then restore it the OpenGLControl1 is not visible neither if I click on it the OpenGLControl1 again. Oviously the cube is not visible. Any ideas? andrea Here the code I used. unit Unit1; {$mode objfpc}{$H+} interface uses Classes, SysUtils, FileUtil, LResources, Forms, Controls, Graphics, Dialogs, OpenGLContext, GL, GLU; type { TForm1 } TForm1 = class(TForm) OpenGLControl1: TOpenGLControl; procedure OpenGLControl1Click(Sender: TObject); private { private declarations } public { public declarations } cube_rotationx: GLFloat; cube_rotationy: GLFloat; cube_rotationz: GLFloat; end; var Form1: TForm1; implementation { TForm1 } procedure TForm1.OpenGLControl1Click(Sender: TObject); var Speed: Double; begin if Sender=nil then ; glClearColor(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0); glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT or GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); glLoadIdentity(); gluPerspective(45.0, double(width) / height, 0.1, 100.0); glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); glLoadIdentity(); glTranslatef(0.0, 0.0,-6.0); glRotatef(cube_rotationx, cube_rotationy, cube_rotationz, 0.0); glBegin(GL_QUADS); glColor3f(0.0,1.0,0.0); // Set The Color To Green glVertex3f( 1.0, 1.0,-1.0); // Top Right Of The Quad (Top) glVertex3f(-1.0, 1.0,-1.0); // Top Left Of The Quad (Top) glVertex3f(-1.0, 1.0, 1.0); // Bottom Left Of The Quad (Top) glVertex3f( 1.0, 1.0, 1.0); // Bottom Right Of The Quad (Top) glEnd(); glBegin(GL_QUADS); glColor3f(1.0,0.5,0.0); // Set The Color To Orange glVertex3f( 1.0,-1.0, 1.0); // Top Right Of The Quad (Bottom) glVertex3f(-1.0,-1.0, 1.0); // Top Left Of The Quad (Bottom) glVertex3f(-1.0,-1.0,-1.0); // Bottom Left Of The Quad (Bottom) glVertex3f( 1.0,-1.0,-1.0); // Bottom Right Of The Quad (Bottom) glEnd(); glBegin(GL_QUADS); glColor3f(1.0,0.0,0.0); // Set The Color To Red glVertex3f( 1.0, 1.0, 1.0); // Top Right Of The Quad (Front) glVertex3f(-1.0, 1.0, 1.0); // Top Left Of The Quad (Front) glVertex3f(-1.0,-1.0, 1.0); // Bottom Left Of The Quad (Front) glVertex3f( 1.0,-1.0, 1.0); // Bottom Right Of The Quad (Front) glEnd(); glBegin(GL_QUADS); glColor3f(1.0,1.0,0.0); // Set The Color To Yellow glVertex3f( 1.0,-1.0,-1.0); // Bottom Left Of The Quad (Back) glVertex3f(-1.0,-1.0,-1.0); // Bottom Right Of The Quad (Back) glVertex3f(-1.0, 1.0,-1.0); // Top Right Of The Quad (Back) glVertex3f( 1.0, 1.0,-1.0); // Top Left Of The Quad (Back) glEnd(); glBegin(GL_QUADS); glColor3f(0.0,0.0,1.0); // Set The Color To Blue glVertex3f(-1.0, 1.0, 1.0); // Top Right Of The Quad (Left) glVertex3f(-1.0, 1.0,-1.0); // Top Left Of The Quad (Left) glVertex3f(-1.0,-1.0,-1.0); // Bottom Left Of The Quad (Left) glVertex3f(-1.0,-1.0, 1.0); // Bottom Right Of The Quad (Left) glEnd(); glBegin(GL_QUADS); glColor3f(1.0,0.0,1.0); // Set The Color To Violet glVertex3f( 1.0, 1.0,-1.0); // Top Right Of The Quad (Right) glVertex3f( 1.0, 1.0, 1.0); // Top Left Of The Quad (Right) glVertex3f( 1.0,-1.0, 1.0); // Bottom Left Of The Quad (Right) glVertex3f( 1.0,-1.0,-1.0); // Bottom Right Of The Quad (Right) glEnd(); Speed := double(OpenGLControl1.FrameDiffTimeInMSecs)/10; cube_rotationx += 5.15 * Speed; cube_rotationy += 5.15 * Speed; cube_rotationz += 20.0 * Speed; OpenGLControl1.SwapBuffers; end; initialization {$I unit1.lrs} end.

But I must admit that I see the same resize problems you do when I use a complex offscreen framebuffer structure with compiz enabled. I did not have the time to trace the origin of the troubles but I don't think it is related to Lazarus (although it is possible). Simple framebuffer setups don't show any problems but I always use the resize event to correctly setup projection matrix and viewport. > I tried another example with TOpenGLControl and I get the same behaviour. I have just tested your code and it looks like there is a problem with the OnClick event of the control. Lots of clicks are 'lost' if compiz is enabled. But it does not seem to be a problem with the minimizing else my code should show the problem, too, and I can get your code the show the cube even after minimizing and restoring the window. If I find some time I will try to look a little bit deeper. > Any ideas? Perhaps your driver/card don't play nicely with compiz. Compiz sometimes shows problems with all kind of stuff (mostly task bars and window decorations). So I advise you to disable it while developing or using windowed OpenGL programs (btw fusion-icon makes this window manager switching easy). It may be a problem with GLScene but the 'lost' OnClick events look like there is some trouble with Lazarus, too. hih Reimar P.S.: And while we are talking about compiz issues. I have observed that my framerate increases if I have the mouse pointer over the OpenGLControl (which I think is really strange behaviour).

Re: [Lazarus] opengl and compiz
Compiz/linux currently is very touchy depending on your card, kernel and distro (xorg version). If you have say Ubuntu 9.04 with kernel .28 and the new xorg and you have intel or ati (pre r500, no longer officialy fglrx driver supported) cards you're pretty much screwed when it comes to openGL. Compiz itself works, but opengl is only up to 1.3 version and has bugged compozing (due to kernel mode setting not being in the kernel yet). All this should change in .30 and .31 kernels and with latest drivers and xorg, although I wouldn't hold my breath for openGL 2.0 functionality (on the bright side, these changes they are making will be great for all the OSS 3d drivers). It's one of those big OSS overhauls. So atm. if openGL is fishy and you don't have closed source drivers, don't fuss about it much :) Ales P.S: for more info, see the phoronix forums and articles -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
Re: [Lazarus] opengl and compiz
thanks to all. i have an ati video card that causes me a lot of problems with my linux box. anyway i will disable compiz (i don't like it, i used it just for testing my app). regards, andrea Aleš Katona ha scritto: Compiz/linux currently is very touchy depending on your card, kernel and distro (xorg version).

[Lazarus] opengl Could not find FB config
Dear all, I developed an application using LazOpenGLContext, one of the application user reported me that he got an error when running my app remotely on CentOS (kernel 2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64). The application works locally but running remotely he got this error: 'Could not find FB config' My application is compiled using laz_1.0.15_r44348M_FPC_2.6.2_x86_64-linux Could you help me trying to identify the problem? Is it possible that some libraries is missing on the local machine? What may I ask to better understand the problem and how to solve it?
